Mike Pelfrey, who allowed just one run and truck out six over 7.2 IP – his longest outing of the season, talked with reporters after last night’s win against the Marlins, and had the following to say about:
On his preformance:
“I know if go out there and pound the strikezone and use all my pitches to get ahead I know can go deep in the game. I try not to walk anybody and do my thing.”
On Omir Santos’ ability behind the plate:
“He does a good job of calling a good game. He knows the hitters. He mixes it up and doesn’t get caught up and trying to throw a sinker. He wants me use my secondary stuff, which makes my fastball better.”
Since returning from the disabled list on April 25th, Pelfrey has allowed three runs or less in each of his seven starts, pitching to a 2.93 ERA.

I know it rolls off the tongue with this squad, but Pelf was never on the DL.
Since Pelfrey has come off the disabled list, he has proved what a lot of people, myself included, thought he would do this year, and take a big step forward and move upwards to that #2 starter type pitcher. He has been fantastic the last few starts.
I actually think this is a big step ahead of even last year. The Marlins have always created a matchup problem due to their style and Pelfrey’s pitching style, but tonight he was just dominant.
Of course, no Hanley Ramirez in the lineup makes a big difference.
The weird thing for big Pelf is he was getting wins when his ERA was 6.00. Now he is pitching great and all he can get is a no decision. Can’t wait for this team to get healthy. Gonna miss you Castro and your huge head. I wish we could have found a way to get rid of Schinder.
What did Billy Wagner’s shirt say last year?
GO BIG PELF!
Sums it all up, don’t ‘cha think?
